The 2025 Ole Miss Rebels football team represented the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) in the Southeastern Conference (SEC) during the 2025 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Rebels were led by head coach Lane Kiffin in the regular season and coach Pete Golding in the postseason and played home games at Vaught–Hemingway Stadium located in Oxford, Mississippi.

Contents

On November 30, Coach Kiffin accepted a seven-year deal to become the next head coach at LSU. [1] Kiffin, having accepted the deal, requested athletic director Keith Carter to be allowed to coach the team through the College Football Playoff, but his request was denied. As such, defensive coordinator Pete Golding was named as the head coach for the playoffs, and is expected to become the full-time head coach moving on. [2] On November 28, after a 38–19 victory over arch-rival Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl, the Rebels accomplished their first 11-win regular season in their history. The team qualified for the College Football Playoff for the first time as well, defeating Tulane in the first round and Georgia in the quarterfinal Sugar Bowl matchup, thus recording their first 12 and 13-win season in program history, and advanced to the national semifinals where they were defeated by Miami. The Rebels’ 2025 season is widely considered their best since the 1960’s.
